Code:Rad - Birdling Bags

Ashley Longnecker / January 06, 2015

If you know me at all, you know I have a bag problem. I’ll admit that it has gotten better in the last couple years, but I still love to find functional rad bags and Birdling Bags delivers.

I’ve had my eye on the Sun Bleached Salmon Weekender Bag. I cannot wait for the day that I schedule a trip that requires a large bag :)  Perhaps I need to get started on that. Check them out, they’re huge, and have tons of pockets and beautiful leather accents. One day I will own one of these amazing bags. Check them out and follow them on Instagram.

Code:Rad - Beddy's Beds

Ashley Longnecker / January 02, 2015

If you have kids with bunk beds you know how much you dread changing their sheets. It sucks, like, for real. I think I’ve found a solution. There is a company called Beddys and they make this zippered all-in-one sheet set! It’s genius. It has zippers on both sides, your child unzips one side to get in bed, then zips it back up in the morning and their bed is made and looks wonderful.

The best part, it’s machine washable! I know I’ll be saving my pennies for these. With having to buy four sets for our kids it will be a good chunk of money but I think these would be a great investment when we are traveling in our 5th wheel! Go check them out, and follow them on Instagram.

Code:Rad - Melody Joy Designs

Jonathan Longnecker / December 30, 2014

I am not sure how I found Miss Melody Joy on Instagram but I am so glad I did. She is so rad. Not only is she this wonderful carefree spirit, she radiates joy and passion and love. I cannot wait to meet her one day. I have a feeling we would be great friends.

Anyway, I’ve had my eye on her leather wraps for awhile and I decided to buy one for Jonathan for Christmas this year. She stamped 4 arrows on it (our kids) and stained it a beautiful dark brown color. He loves it but forgot to put it on this morning, so.... I stole it:) I will be placing an order for one soon and you should to. It’s comfortable, well made and you support a small business that gives back! Follow Melody Joy Designs on Instagram for more awesome handmade items like her hand knitted cowls and Nest Jewelry.

Where do you get high-quality wholesale fitted shirts?

Jonathan Longnecker / December 12, 2014

It's funny, as soon as we decided to get out of the hand-printed t-shirt game we got a flood of questions as to how we were doing it. I keep thinking maybe they shouldn't take advice from the guys closing up shop, right? I kid, I kid. We did learn a ton in our short time doing this and thought it might be helpful if I wrote all this down somewhere on the internets.

What we'll be tackling today is the question we were asked most: "Where did you get your shirts?"

That's a great question. If you're not part of that world and trying to break in it's tough to know where to start.

Get out of town sale

Jonathan Longnecker / December 03, 2014

Hey everybody! How was your Thanksgiving? We had such a great time here in Knoxville - everyone came to our house and we enjoyed a truly relaxed time of stuffing our faces, laughing and actually getting to talk to each other. 

It's funny how even when you spend time with your family, you can still be busy enough to cut it short or just not be mentally present. Maybe it was the fact that everyone was off from work that day - or maybe it was just cold and rainy enough for people to linger, but it was nice to hang with the family.

I've watched in amusement the last several days as what used to be just one day of sales has turned into like 5 days of "money events." Stores opened a day early on Thanksgiving day, Black Friday was still Black Friday, Saturday got devoted to local businesses, Monday the Internet was on sale and then Tuesday was all about giving. I love giving and all, but I just had to laugh and the ridiculousness of the marketing madness. I'm getting a little tired of everyone else telling me when and how to spend my money.

All that to say - we didn't do any Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals for anything in our store. Why? We didn't want to be another email in your inbox yelling at you to buy something. 

Instead, I'd like to share some news. By this time next year we're going to be on the road. Our house will be sold and everything we own will be in an RV! 

And let's just say boxes of t-shirts is not on the list of things we want to be carrying around with us.

So from now on everything in our store is 50% off. No special timeframe, no coupon codes, no midnight specials. We just need to clear out our remaining inventory. 

Oh, and one more thing. For every dollar you spend on one of our shirts we're going to donate a dollar to Rice Bowls, an awesome non-profit that helps feed orphaned kids. Like, indefinitely until all the shirts are gone. We're that crazy, guys. For real.

So go check out the apparel store! And if a particular size is out of stock shoot us an email and ask. There's a good chance we've got a blank one in your size that we can print for you.
